the passage of time
Dec. 9th, 2008 09:01 pmEven though this calendar new year isn't very significant to me, I like what people are doing in review (Jan '08 on):
1) I'm here, falling harder in love with this city and worrying my fingers over what'll happen come April when letters start coming in.
2) What do I dedicate myself to on Brigid's day,
the ground still frozen with the sun up late?
3) Last night I dreamed of whipping winds, praying to see my spirit animal and instead of the expected red-tail hawk looking up to see feathery black buzzards swarming the sky.
4) Brooklyn Java from Fairway is kind of amazing-- one cup and I'm not only speedy and euphoric, I'm invincible!
5) It's the first of May and all around me a perfect spring day, too cool to go without the leather it's too warm for, sunlight pouring down.
[I was out of commission from June-July, you'll remember]
8) Late August back home in PA makes me understand the dying god, burgeoning sun within the Earth, the grass getting dry where maple and oak leaves can't outstretch their shade.
9) I think I feel happy lately, because I'm being productive and exercising as much agential control as I can over my options.
10) A flaming tin of boot polish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
11) With the near-identical replacement of the scarf I lost in Paris in 2006, I've really been hitting my stride:
12) Last night I dreamt I was up in Wellfleet during the colder months and I was walking around the curve of sparse stores, going through folding metal peacock-feathered fans in an old antique shop.
